not heard from you for a while.
You will need to bring your driving licence and club membership card ( no doubt for insurance purposes ). If you can make it that would be great. Posted By: rapiddecline

Managed to make it today, although late... But rewarded: really impressed by the power (!) and handling of the 520d sport. Bit noisy though and diesel smell was coming in the cabin Averaged 32-33mpg...only

Hello Marie-Noëlle, I agree, I also was impressed with the 520d Oh well I'll have to wait about 4 years until they are down in my price bracket. Steve. ------------- 1998 E36 318iS Saloon 1989 E30 318i. Coupe 2000 E39 520i Touring

My favourite drive of the day was the 130i M Sport. It was a car I could live with very easily. Plenty of power, great handing, a very good feel to the steering and brakes,lovely driving position, 4 doors and just about enough room for my lifestyle.
All I need now is to find about £25k.

| I went on tech update for when they bought out 4cyl diesel for new 5 series (E60) at bmw. We had tto compre it to merc which was sh*te to sy the least and Audi A4 2.0tdi, To be honest Audi was welll better car. Better performance and nicer to drive. Going on tech update in july for new coupe, drive new twin turbo version cant wait. |

Hehe my favourite moment was definitely seeing Dad and Kev bobbing down the motorway in a mini convertible with the top down Popeye and I certainly had a good giggle On a slightly more serious note... regarding the cars, I was only a passenger as I am not driving yet, YET being the most important word right, Dad The first car we went in was the 520d. The back was huge! I nearly got lost in there, sinking into the squishy leather seats! On a long journey I'd probably get a bad back sitting for a long period of time in those seats though from lack of support. The computer in the car was confusing aswell, too much stuff to think about really and trying to navigate through it find out how to turn the radio off took us a while I preferred the seats in the 320d, closer to what I'm used to and I'm sat more upright so I can see more too. Important for short people like me The 130i was cool and Dad was certainly impressed as he has already said. Thumbs up for thrill aswell as comfort! Oh and the apple crumble was lovely! ------------- *Little Seed* Elämä on epävarmaa, syö jälkiruoka ensin (Finnish proverb) Life is uncertain so eat your dessert first |
